About this activity

From 15th JUNE to 30th NOV, 2026

WHALE WATCHING WALKING TOURS - in Hermanus, South Africa - -

Whale Watching Walking Tours of Hermanus take you on a gentle walk along our very scenic paved walk-ways of the pretty coastal cliff tops for 2 to 3 hours, with our experienced Whale Watching Tour Guide who will take you to all the hidden coves and inlets that the Whales love to frolic in and due to the cliffs being vertical, means that the Whales can literally be only a few metres away from you.

A visit to our Whale museum will start the tour. (Entrance fee included in your tour fee).

The location schedule will take in 5 to 7 separate spots that are 2 to 4 kms apart so you will travel to each spot by luxury 7 seater kombi minibus (larger vehicles available) and then wander around each location. Tours are conducted at any time of the day that suits you.
